Installation

Four easy steps to install Jetwick on your machine(s)!

1. Clone jetwick sources and build jetwick

   • git clone [email protected]:karussell/Jetwick.git jetwick
   • cd jetwick
   • mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip=true

2. Start the Elastic Search Node

   • ./myjava de.jetwick.es.ElasticNode
   • ensure it is started e.g. the following command should throw a missing index exception: curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/twindex/_status?pretty=true' or install elasticsearch-head

3. Start jetwick

   • mvn jetty:run
   • you should see 'Started Jetty Server'
   • goto http://localhost:8080/jetwick/ to ensure it is started. You will see no tweets. But you shouldn't see an exception in the logs.
   • PS: or simply deploy the target/jetwick.war into your favourite java web server.

4. Feed the index with tweets from twitter

   • create tagfile.txt and add one keyword per line e.g. 'java'
   • ./utils/es-import-tags.sh
   • Output should be Imported tag:1 all tags:0
   • cp ./utils/config-template.properties to ~/.jetwick/config.properties
   • edit twitter credentials (see below)
   • start tweet collector
     • ./myjava de.jetwick.tw.TweetCollector -maxTime=-1
   • Do not get irritated from exceptions when the TweetCollector queries the empty user index ...
   • Now wait ~30 sec then click search in the UI.

Twitter Credentials

1. read http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth#intro
2. register an application here: http://dev.twitter.com/apps to search twitter or read your timeline
   • get the consumerKey + consumerSecret and set them in the ~/.jetwick/config.properties file
   • jetwick.twitter4j.main.consumerKey=
   • jetwick.twitter4j.main.consumerSecret=
3. create a new token + tokenSecret: login with your twitter account via jetwick
   • view the values, see TwitterSearch.oAuthOnCallBack and log tmpRequestToken.getToken();tmpRequestToken.getTokenSecret();
   • jetwick.twitter4j.main.token=
   • jetwick.twitter4j.main.tokenSecret=
